That Comedy Cental HD new channel number.

Comedy Central +1 is moving to an unkown channel number*.

*I think it will be Channel 133 or 182.

Changes so far:

Comedy Central +1 has moved from 134 to 133
MTV has moved from 311 to 134
Comedy Central HD has moved from 133 to 181
Comedy Central Extra has moved from 185 to 182
MTV Live HD has moved from 310 to 311
MTV Hits has moved from 317 to 312
MTV Base has moved from 315 to 313
MTV Rocks has moved from 325 to 315
VH1 has moved from 320 to 316
VIVA has moved from 313 to 317

So a reshuffle with no extra channels added at this point. The lack of gaps in the new MTV channel range would appear to indicate that there are no plans to bring any of MTV's other channels to VM at the present time.

Also MTV Dance has moved from 319 to 314.

Says a lot about MTV when it's no longer part of the music channel group

MTV has been an Entertainment channel (as part of the Entertainment EPG on Astra) since the day Living was rebrand as Sky Living.

Thanks, actually it was one of the first in the sequence of the channel changes, I missed it from the copy / paste when I put them into channel number order.

I'm surprised they didn't move VIVA into the entertainment section, it only has music content during off-peak hours.

I'd be surprised if they moved these channels onto a new number only to move again after a short period of time. The channels have to update their on screen channel numbers and publicity material every time these changes occur, so moving around the EPG does mean an increase in promotional costs for the channels involved.

I meant moves by other channels, not the ones that moved this week, sorry I probably did not make myself clear :)

True, some areas of the EPG need tidying up.
